The Lotus Grand Tourers

Big rings on driver's fingers, or fists of ham working behind the dash. I did notice those marks and wondered how they may have caused. Werewolf sounds best suggestion :D In terms of colour I think pink and white are my equal joint first then yellow, blue, green and lastly silver. Hopefully that li...

Well it's proper SE identifiable by 1990 - Leather and AirCon. Been around a while on that site. Price has dropped over the months IIRC. They are quoting 160 BHP which is wrong unless it has had an engine change which you will need to ask. You noticed that it was Pink, alright? :P :P :P :P I like p...

Seen this for sale. Spec and price are about right, so was wondering if anyone knows it or has any opinion on it. I have emailed seller to find out if standard or SE model - awaiting reply.

You got the order wrong... Lotusexcel.net - (enthusiast owned. Usually aware of issues and happy to divulge, realistically priced) Lotusforsale.com - (Typically enthusiast owned. Some issues are mentioned. Often realistically priced) Classiccarsforsale - ( Often dealers. Overpriced but typically go...

Also ClubLotus magazine, and local club lotus members via the local coordinator, both similar to the situation that fueltheburn mentions for lotusexcel.net. [/i]). Just had a look at ClubLotus - is it worth joining for magazine as it seems all things Excel are covered here? What does ClubLotus offe...

You got it mainly covered. Note carandclassic covers ebay so you can leave that search out. Pistonheads, Lotus forum and MLOC also are places to ask for as owners let "friends" know first. We may also know of friends moving on. I do know a nice pink one which is open for barter owned by a Lotus Spe...

I think you'll be impressed by the condition. Drop me an email and I'll let you have the details.

Rather unfortunately I may need to sell mine. Couple of pics on the Lotus Excel Facebook fan page. Get in touch if interested. Really don't want it to go but may be forced to. Would rather it went to someone that cares! See for sale post :( Hi, just found the photos, looks nice. Ideally I'm ideally...

............. but after 40,000 miles it turned out to be OK and reliable in the end. Wasn't a Lotus then :D :D :D :D :D :oops: ! :? My interpretation of that statement was: " The car was unreliable for the first 40,000 miles, but has been reliable since the end of that period ... " ie the new owner...

Yes, I'm expecting to do some travelling and have no problem with that. I can do a round trip of 300 miles just to do a day's work. It was just bad timing with the one I saw as away on family holiday when I saw it and when it sold. I also understand the pressure to buy after a long journey. I did th...

Looking for my first Lotus so wondered if there were any other places I should be looking for cars for sale besides the following

Thanks for the welcome and replies.

Well the one I had my eye on and had been in contact with the owner, appears to have sold at the last minute . It was for sale on a well known auction site. Will have to keep searching and hope something similar comes along.

Thought I would just say hello having just registered on the forum. I'm not yet an owner, but in the research/looking phase. I have spotted what looks like a nice Excel SE that I am making inquiries about at the moment. Keen to go have a look, but it's a 4 1/2 hour drive from where I live and at the...
